Soon after, he began to take the art form seriously, and decided to pursue music as a career. Back then, Tril realized that hip-hop wasn't just music, but it was a culture and that he most definitely fit into. His influences are hip-hop icons such as Scarface, the 2 Live Crew, UGK, Outkast, Tupac, and Biggie, just to name a few.

His style is rather unique and he has a variety of ways to get his point across to his listeners.

His bouncy style, seasoned with a heavy southern drawl, has been grasping the ear of everyone who has heard his songs. As a result, Tril has been accepted by many people
